It was incredible.Sports fans all over the world rode through the emotion of an early start to The Masters and were treated to quite the finish. Tiger has won the most incredible tournament that the world of golf offers for the fifth time in his career, his 15th overall Major victory.Tiger set a new record for distance between victories at Augusta by going 14 years since his last one there in 2005. That was a very different time for the world, but what did it look like for the Dallas Cowboys?Things were very different for the Cowboys in 2005In the springtime of 2005, the Cowboys were coming off of a disappointing 6-10 season that was the second in which Bill Parcells led the group. They had failed to build off of a promising season in 2003 the following year. Some things feel like they never change.While coverage of the NFL Draft was certainly nowhere to the degree that it is today, people would have probably really enjoyed all the mocks we were treated to on a daily basis 14 years ago. The Cowboys had two first-round selections in 2005 thanks to a trade with the Buffalo Bills when they tried to land a quarterback (shout out to J.P. Losman).The Cowboys managed to pull off a strong utilization of those two first-rounders when they drafted DeMarcus Ware and Marcus Spears with them. That whole 2005 draft class actually ended up being quite nice overall.2005 Dallas Cowboys Draft Class1st Round: DeMarcus Ware1st Round: Marcus Spears2nd Round: Kevin Burnett4th Round: Marion Barber4th Round: Chris Canty6th Round: Justin Beariault6th Round: Rob Petitti7th Round: Jay RatliffThe 2005 season didn’t go so well for the CowboysWhile Dallas rebounded from their poor record the year before in 2005, they still didn’t amount to much. They went 9-7 in Parcells’ third season leading the team. They did have a promising draft class so that’s worth something and the season ended with the Pittsburgh Steelers matching them (and the San Francisco 49ers) for the most Super Bowl victories by one franchise. Times have definitely changed there.2005 also served as the 10-year anniversary for the Cowboys of the last time that they’d won their own Super Bowl. It was a season that saw Drew Bledsoe, Julius Jones, and Terry Glenn lead the team in passing, rushing, and receiving respectively... here’s hoping for production that far exceeds that this upcoming season.Things are very different today than they were 14 years ago. For instance instead of having two first-round draft picks the Cowboys don’t have any. They also play in a stadium that they’ve been in for 10 seasons. Life comes at you fast that way.Congratulations to Tiger Woods. Let’s hope what follows his win at Augusta is extremely different for us this time around. The first round is over. How’d it go?"WhiteFanposts Fanshots Sections Dallas Cowboys NewsDallas Cowboys 2019 Draft2019 NFL Draft: First-round analysis shows Cowboys still in the hunt for what they needNew,33commentsThe first round is over. How’d it go?CDTShareTweetShareShare2019 NFL Draft: First-round analysis shows Cowboys still in the hunt for what they needChristopher Hanewinckel-USA TODAY SportsThe first round of the 2019 NFL draft has officially concluded. After months of speculation over what exactly the Arizona Cardinals would do with the first overall pick, they did what everyone had been saying they would do for all those months and took Kyler Murray. But what followed was little more chaotic. Things were going according to plan at first, with the 49ers taking Nick Bosa and the Jets taking Quinnen Williams. Many draft analysts considered Bosa and Williams to be the consensus top two players in the class L. P. Ladouceur Color Rush Jersey , so it wasn’t surprising to see them go off the board in the top three. Then came the Oakland Raiders at the fourth overall pick. After trading away Khalil Mack, Jon Gruden needed to find his new star pass rusher and with Josh Allen of Kentucky still on the board, it seemed like he was about to do it. And while the Raiders did take an edge rusher, it wasn’t Allen. Instead, it was Clemson defensive end Clelin Ferrell, who many considered to be a late-first-round option. Instead, he ended up being a top five pick, and the Raiders were once again mocked around the Twitter-sphere. The Raiders were just getting things started in a crazy first round that saw a lot of players taken far earlier than expected and a lot of players falling below their expected draft slot. The Giants took Duke quarterback Daniel Jones sixth overall with Dwayne Haskins and Drew Lock, as well as a lot of great pass rushers, still on the board. The Lions took tight end TJ Hockenson eighth overall instead of looking to build up their defense a bit more. The Steelers traded up ten spots to steal Michigan linebacker Devin Bush Jr. from the division rival Bengals. Haskins fell all the way to the Redskins at 15; they resisted the urge to trade up for a quarterback despite a plethora of insider tweets indicating they wanted to do so throughout the day. Safety Darnell Savage and offensive tackle Tytus Howard heard their names called in the middle of the first round even though many draft experts expected both to be day two picks, that just added to the mayhem. The Eagles traded up three spots to take offensive tackle Andre Dillard with all of the wide receivers in the class still on the board, and then both the Redskins and Giants traded back into the first round, causing quite the commotion in the NFC East. And just for good measure Taco Charlton Jersey , the Raiders selected safety Johnathan Abram, one of the safeties the Cowboys were looking at, with the pick that they acquired from Dallas in the Amari Cooper trade. Depending on your opinion on Abram, that might sting. But as surprising and hectic as this first round was, perhaps the most surprising thing was all the players that didn’t hear their names called. This whole draft process we’ve been told that Ole Miss wide receiver DK Metcalf was the best at his position group, but he’s still on the board. Similarly, the top two cornerbacks in the class, Greedy Williams and Byron Murphy, are still waiting. Tackle Jawaan Taylor, largely considered a top 15 prospect, is still available, as is quarterback Drew Lock.The biggest takeaway from the first round, at least for Cowboys fans La'el Collins Color Rush Jersey , was all the defensive backs that fell down draft boards. Safety is clearly a big priority for the Cowboys, and cornerback seems to be a point of emphasis for their draft plans, too. Only one cornerback and two safeties were taken, leaving a whole lot of players at those positions still on the board heading into round two. That increases the odds that Dallas will be able to get one of those players at 58. Instead, the first round was surprisingly heavy on defensive linemen. In the first 32 picks, 12 defensive linemen or edge rushers were taken. That included a pair of Mississippi State players in Montez Sweat and Jeffery Simmons, both of whom were unsure if they’d be taken in the first round due to various issues not related to their on-field play. Sweat was taken by Washington at 26th overall and Simmons went to the Titans at 19th overall. The first round was chock full of delirium, proving only that NFL teams are still virtually impossible to predict around this time of year. As we get ready for the second round to begin, there are still a lot of players left that could become impact players for the Cowboys, although don’t be surprised if the craziness from the first day continues on into Friday night.
